An American woman travels to Tokyo to solve a family mystery—and discovers an unlikely love—in this "charmingly entertaining" international romance (Booklist).

With her deadbeat boyfriend and stagnant career, thirty-three-year-old singer Celeste Duncan feels stuck. Then she receives a puzzling phone call and a box full of mysterious family heirlooms. Could they finally help her uncover the identity of the father she never knew?

Celeste quickly finds a friend in her English-speaking homestay brother, Takuya. But as a trail of clues takes them both across the country, Celeste finds herself developing "more than sisterly" feelings for him. Now, as she attempts to find herself in a strange land, she must also discover if love can transcend culture.
